There is altogether too much interference by the Federal
government and the foundations of the billionaires (Bill &
Melinda Gates, Eli Broad, Walton Family), nowadays, into the
manner in which the states handle public education.
The recent push has been toward closing public schools and
opening more charter schools.
Why doesn't the U.S. Department of Education simply take over all
public schools in the United States and turn the staffs into
Federal employees?
I mean...look at how the U.S. Postal Service has vastly improved
the operations of the post offices over the years!
